New App Looksery Photoshops Your Face While You Video Chat To Make You More Attractive

It's common for people to post profile pictures of themselves
that don't accurately represent how they look in real life.

Now, an app called Looksery wants to help people achieve the same
false sense of attractiveness in video chats.

Looksery launched on crowdfunding site Kickstarter today and
offers six face filters — like Instagram filters but for people —
during video chats. The effect is a thinner face, brighter eyes,
smoother skin, or alternatively, a zombie-fication of your face.
It give users a chatting head that sort of looks like themselves
but with some flattering or playful instant photoshopping.

The app hasn't launched yet, and it's raised a tiny amount of
cash so far. But here are some examples of what its
patent-pending technology could do to your face, from the
Kickstarter page (via
TechCrunch).
